Nginx try_files /does_not_exists - why?

Question

Nginx

In nGinx configs by default I see
try_files /does_not_exists @php;
It is clear that if the requested file does not exist, we redirect it to the PHP handler.
It became interesting whether the part of the line "/does_not_exists" has at least some meaning - or is it done for clarity and this line has no meaning and can be deleted?

try_files must have at least two arguments. Therefore, you cannot simply delete this line.
